hi, I had some itching and white discharge a few days after sex figured it was a yeast infection i took monistat3 and the itching is gone but the discharge is still here. I have started eating yogurt, taking AZO and soaking a tampon in tea tree oil and coconut oil for the past 3 days. There is a very slight odor and no itching or pain during urination. Does anyone have any advice on what else to do? Or how much longer to keep doing the tea tree oil? I have no insurance and its almost $200 for a gyno visit. Thank you! image
